A balanced aroma offers green apple skin tartness and comforting sweetness in equal doses...Medium-bodied for the ice cider category, this one also offers lactic pears to diversify its flavor profile...Green apple tartness continues into an easy finish, with a splash of alcohol...Linear from beginning to end, but a fun sipper nonetheless...

2006 version courtesy of the chairman of PUB’N (PA Underground Beer Network), which I am the President of. The pour is deep coppery with very little head. Nose is amazing...a medley of juicy, resiny Macintosh and Granny Smith apples, honey, earthy notes, and a very Jadwiga-like overall olfactory impression, but with more tart apply goodness. The flavor is awsome; this one literally melts in your mouth, woth heavy apple tartness coupled with earthy, honey, white grape, and Irish Mist notes. This one drips with flavor in every mouthful. My only beef is that the finish gets a tiny bit cloying, but this one is one of my "try before you die" beverages, and I’m glad my old haggard heart held up. Yeah, man!
